I'm trying to install Cachy OS on my PC, but I only have one drive with 50 GB of unallocated space and an 8 GB USB stick. I'm pretty confused about the whole process and had errors the last time I tried installing without a USB. Any step-by-step guidance would be appreciated!

Honestly, if you're new to Linux, I suggest starting with a more beginner-friendly distro instead of going for an Arch-based one like Cachy OS. It might save you some headaches! Try something like Ubuntu or Linux Mint.
Installing is pretty much the same process as with any other distro: create a bootable USB and follow the prompts. But if you're feeling overwhelmed, it might really be worth considering easier options like Mint or Ubuntu first.
I recommend getting a good USB stick (8 or 16 GB) and using Ventoy. It makes it super easy to try out different distros. Plus, with the persistence plugin, you can run them as though they're fully installed. You might also enjoy trying MX-Linux or Elive for a smoother experience!
For installing Cachy OS, you'll need to manually partition your drive for both EFI and root. Check out this great YouTube video for a visual guide to assist with the manual partitioning: [Video Link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJcrb7vxoCo&t=229s). Just a heads up, aim for around 4196 MB or more for the EFI partition.
